Great looking image, but it's shouting "Give Me Some AREA LIGHTS". 

From the POV documentation:

4.5.5.4   Area Lights
Area light sources occupy a finite, one- or two-dimensional area
of space. They can cast soft shadows because an object can
partially block their light.  Point sources are either totally
blocked or not blocked.  <End of quote>

Area lights slow rendering down considerably, thought I'd warn you.
The doc goes on to explain the syntax etc of area lights,  there's
also good stuff in there on AA and probably anything that you'd want
to know, there's no harm in asking here aswell as some of our regular
visitors/participants have developed knowledge that goes beyond the docs.
